The increase, which took place March 1, was one and a half cents per litre. This is equal to an annual rate of .8 per cent over the period since the last increase in 1992. This is only the second fluid milk price increase for Ontario's 8,300 dairy farmers since 1990.

The fluid milk price increase only relates directly to the price paid to dairy farmers. The retai' price of milk is determined by the marketplace and is not regulated it Ontario. Fluid milk products include those sold as standard homogenized milk, two per cent, one per cent and skim milk.
